'He should fight back officer'
From the always entertaining Oconee County Police Blotter ...
Arrest: On Sept. 29, a man and his pregnant girlfriend, were driving on Epps Bridge Parkway about 4:45 p.m., when they pulled into a left hand turn lane to turn onto Dowdy Road to visit a shopping center. The couple, both employees of the Clarke County School System, were waiting to make a turn due to heavy traffic when a Ford Explorer behind them began honking its horn. The woman told deputy Laura Teet that when they finally were able to make the turn, the Explorer began passing them and someone inside threw an object at the car. The man and woman inside the SUV also were screaming obscenities. At this point, they called 911 and followed the Explorer to Quizno's to get it's license plate number. The man said the man in the Explorer, later identified as Richard Stonewall Wehunt, 27, got out of his vehicle and became hostile. The man said he asked Wehunt to calm down, but they had words and Wehunt ran toward him and began hitting him in the head. A 40-year-old Athens man, who had gone to Quizno's to get dinner, said he heard an exchange of words and he saw Wehunt hitting the victim. The witness said he stepped between the men to stop the assault. Teet spoke with Wehunt, who explained that he and his girlfriend were behind the other car and they honked the horn because the traffic had cleared at the intersection. Wehunt admitted confronting the victim, but lost control when the other man described Wehunt's girlfriend using a profane sexual connotation. Wehunt's girlfriend told Teet that after they honked their horn, the car intentionally drove slow into the shopping center apparently as way to make them upset. She said they also gave them an obscene finger gesture. After parking their car, she said the couple began swearing at them and when the man called her a name, Wehunt rushed him. Wehunt also said the man challenged him to a fight and that when he began hitting the man, he attempted to fight back in a very feeble manner before they were separated by the witness. After interviewing the people, Teet arrested Wehunt of Woodlake Drive, Athens on a charge of simple battery.
Is this Richard Wehunt of Georgia basketball fame? And of averaging 40-plus points per game in Jefferson fame?
